Chapter: 1077
"Hmph! Here I was thinking that maybe we’ve got ourselves a worthy opponent. It turns out he’s just a cowardly chicken!" Miranda mocked.
"This is what we call a champion boaster. They always win in an argument. But once things start getting serious, they chicken out faster than anyone else."
"A slacker will always be a slacker. No matter what they say, the facts won’t change!"
The lackeys ridiculed and mocked Dustin, looking at him as if he were nothing more than a mere clown.
"Hey! That’s enough!" Abigail was angered. Had it not been for her concerns for decency, she would have taken action much sooner. They were a bunch who did not watch what they said.
"What? Are you just going to stay silent and let a girl stand up for you? What a worthless bum!" Preston continued to taunt.
"I intended to ignore you, but you seem adamant about getting on my nerves. Fine, you wish to challenge me, don’t you? I’ll take you up on that challenge." Dustin did not wish to tolerate them anymore. Just because he couldn’t be bothered to take action did not mean that he wasn’t capable of doing so.
"Wow! You’re finally acting like a man!" Preston gave a cunning grin.
"Alright, I won’t take advantage of you. Let’s just go through with Dr. Watkins’ examination. Whoever gets a higher rank in the examination wins. The loser will be the winner’s dog. How’s that? Do you dare to take up the challenge?" Preston was dead set on winning.
Preston was going to defeat Dustin so that he could crush him under his feet, utterly humiliating him. Only by doing so could he vent the anger in his heart.
"Well, if you insist on becoming my dog, I’ll agree to it, then." Dustin had an impassive look.
"Hmph! Keep talking tough. Let’s see how much longer you can stay arrogant!" Preston sneered.
"Everyone, did you all see that? We are all witnesses to the challenge. The loser shall be the winner’s dog." Miranda was quick to back Preston up.
"That’s right! The loser will be a dog!" The lackeys followed along.
It wasn’t every day that they came across someone they could humiliate. They were going to grab hold of every opportunity that came their way.
"This young man is acting so recklessly. Why would he accept Preston’s challenge? At a medical examination too! Isn’t he inviting defeat upon himself?"
"If he doesn’t have the ability, he should admit defeat. But he insists on being arrogant! He’s going to embarrass himself when he loses."
"Young people these days are too proud. They don’t know their limits."
The crowd around them started whispering and commenting on Dustin’s actions. From their point of view, Dustin was too arrogant and would end up embarrassing himself.
"Silence!" As everyone got into a heated discussion, a loud voice roared. Then, a group of elders of the Stoneray Order entered the hall.
Dr. Linden Watkins, leader of the Stoneray Order, walked before the group. Several other elders and some of the administrative disciples followed behind him.
"Is that Dr. Linden Watkins? He has such a grand aura coming from him!"
"Whoever does well in the examination today will be chosen as Dr. Watkins’ student. And will be learning from Dr. Watkins himself. The chosen one will have a bright future ahead!"
The mood turned serious when Linden entered. Everyone looked at him with respect in their eyes.
Linden was the best of the great three doctors in Balerno. Not only was he a skilled doctor, but he also had many students in the entire country. Everyone respected him. It would be a big achievement to become his student.
